Wow, Go Soo is back. I've really missed him. Looks like Lee YW has a lot of fans here. She's a great actress and I've seen her in Cruel Love, Fashion 70s and 49 Days but I have my doubts if she will fit into this role as a Chaebol daughter and an ambitious one at that. I really can't see her in that character, as described in the synopsis earlier. Her fashion sense more times than not kill me and she's too tall for GS. If she does take on the role, more likely she will be in flats again and that's so ...unfashionable? I know i know script and talent are most important but i also like the leads to be comparable. It's just what I think so please don't bash me okay? If she does take on the role, I hope she'll prove me wrong. My priority is just to see GS anyway.

Just a rough translation....

Golden Empire's Unofficial Synopsis:

The main characters are the male lead/hero (Go Soo), female lead/heroine (Lee Yo-won) and her brother (Sohn Hyun-Joo). It will start with a battle between the hero and the heroine's brother.

Then, the hero and the heroine's brother will co-operate against the heroine.

Following that, in order to fight against the heroine's brother, the hero and heroine will enter into a marriage contract.

Finally, the hero took over the chaebol family's empire, and the heroine and her brother join forces to fight against the hero.

All three of them are vicious characters.

The hero is someone who would kill a congressman and frame the woman who loves him.

Wow, Sounds rather intense to me....  :-O

[Guest YunRa1430270238]

If LYW's character is a vicious one, this is definitely interesting.

Go Soo confirms new drama Empire of Goldby girlfriday | April 23, 2013 | 4 Comments

SBS’s next Monday-Tuesday drama has reeled in its hero: we’ve got a confirmation for Go Soo, who will be the star of the next epic from the team behind last year’s hit political thriller The Chaser. This one’s called Empire of Gold, and will be the battle for one chaebol empire over the span of twenty years. Seems like the economy’s the hot topic lately, though it doesn’t quite have the same ring to it that time-traveling or body-swapping rom-com does, does it?

Empire of Gold will star Go Soo as the hero who comes from nothing, and fights tooth and nail “like a madman” to rise to the top. He’ll face off against Sohn Hyun-joo (The Chaser), son of chaebol conglomerate, and fall in love with said enemy’s little sister. Lee Yo-won is considering and still unconfirmed for the role.

It sort of sounds like the backstory of Kim Sang-joong’s character in The Chaser, just yunno, from a less evil perspective. Like if he were the hero… and a lot less evil. The story starts back in 1990 and will be a Giant-esque epic that covers multiple decades — in 30 episodes and 20 years it’ll cover the rise of this one empire and one outsider’s crazy ambition to have it all.

This’ll be Go Soo’s first drama in four years since Will It Snow For Christmas, and he picked a good team to work with, for sure. I’m admittedly less interested if it’s only about the battle for one conglomerate, since The Chaser had heart in the father angle and huge stakes in the presidential election angle, but at 30 episodes I do expect a much more complex story than the two-line summary that’s being released right now. Fingers crossed.

Empire of Gold follows Jang Ok-jung and premieres in July.

Thanks NEWMARIO

I like Lee Yo Won (from Fashion 70s) where I thought she was really good.  She has screen presence but it's sort of like a hit or miss sometimes.  Overall, I really like Go Soo/Yo Won pairing so hopefully Yo Won will accept.
